In the autumn, the area is one of the first to open in Europe, with skiing on the glacier in advance of the opening of the main ski area, including the link to Val d'Isère. The resort attracts high-level skiers who come for pre-season training before the winter competition season. It is also one of the last resorts to close with a season that runs until early May, with the exception of the 20 kilometres of slopes on the Grande Motte glacier, where skiing continues throughout the summer at an altitude of 3,000m.
